Homework

user-centred home networking

Homework investigated future networking in the home by considering the
needs of the user. Study of computer network use in the home gave an empirical
understanding of use, which led to a fundamental re-invention of the
protocols, models and architectures of the domestic setting.

Over 300 million people worldwide have broadband connections to the
Internet with 51% of UK households having a broadband connection. However,
despite the growing interest in home networking, these technologies remain
extraordinarily difficult for people to install, manage, and use.
